A member asked:
Is copd an indication for montelukast or something else?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Something else: Unless the person has COPD + asthma, in which case trying it won't hurt. For copd, usually inhaled antimuscarinics plus albuterol as needed are a reasonable starting place. Newer drugs will be coming out shortly.

No: Montelukast is not used in patients with copd. It is usually indicated for patientswith allergic rhinitis or asthma.
